What would you do if 95% of your clothes vanished?

Last night I was informed that I pretty much lost everything that I wasn’t wearing. It went down like this.

(08:44:24) Allie: what happened to your clothes :(
(08:46:03) Ryan: Here is what happened.
(08:46:47) Ryan: I go downstairs with my laundry and go to put it in the backseat but the door was locked so I set it down.
(08:47:42) Ryan: My mom was on the passengers side sorting out groceries so I start helping with that.
(08:48:53) Ryan: I was on the passengers side when I set down the laundry. it was just a few feet from where she was.
(08:49:41) Ryan: So the groceries get sorted and I run them upstairs.
(08:50:57) Ryan: So I run back down to give my mom some cash and she is sitting in the drivers seat. Where I put the clothes wasn’t visible.
(08:51:18) Ryan: I just assume that she put them in the car.
(08:51:29) Ryan: She drives off.
(08:52:00) Ryan: By the time she notices they are missing someone had already taken them.

It couldn’t have been that many clothes if you brought them down in one load and didn’t notice they weren’t in the car. Time for a new summer wardrobe! Maybe each of your guy friends would be willing to part with one piece.

That sucks. Your sister is awesome though. Makes for a funny story too. Plus…new pants!

I just lost 5% of my wardrobe. My kid likes to stash crayons everywhere. Apparently my husband didn’t check for “presents” with the last load of laundry. Major bummer because it took out some favorites. But I just mourned them briefly and moved on. Can’t get too attached to stuff with litte mischief-makers in the house.

That was a sucky thing to happen but kudos to your sister, and what a great opportunity to start a whole new wardrobe. I’m like you; most of my clothes are dead cheap. We don’t have Walmart here but we do have Primark, where you can get t-shirts for £2 each and jeans for £6, so if it happened to me that’s where I’d go to stock up again.

You could always get some new shirts on Ript . They’re only 13 dollars(including shipping) and they have a new design every day. I’ve bought a few shirts from them and they’ve always been great quality. I got this bitchin squirtle one last night actually :P

I’d also obviously hit up the good will stores. I’m pretty sure 95% of my jeans came from there and probably cost me under $20 in total.
